The Daily Bruin

Are you interested in participating in tough conversations around race, faith and diversity? Are you in the midst of understanding your own racial/cultural identity?

The Intercultural Resource Center invites you to participate in our unique leadership program that will encourage growth, relationship and cultural awareness. This unique student leadership opportunity is for students who are seeking to be culturally engaged and who have a desire to see change take place on campus. In addition to training with your peers on a weekly basis, students involved in the program will be attending the SCORR (Student Congress of Racial Reconciliation Conference) in the month of February, hosted at Biola University.

Applications are open from Oct. 30 through Nov. 10. Use this link to apply.

If you have any questions about the Cultural Ambassador program, contact Rachel Leong (rleong16@georgefox.edu).

The Students for Life Club is excited to host guest speaker Liberty Pike, who works for Oregon Right to Life, on Wednesday, Nov. 8. She will be addressing the issue of abortion and the depth and importance of the pro-life cause. She will also be talking about how to love those who have been affected by abortion and what our actions should be to balance grace and truth together.

All are welcome to the event, and we hope to bring a light to a topic that is so easily pushed into the darkness and never talked about.

Join us from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Hoover 103. Contact Hannah Thom (hthom16@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions.

The university community is invited to join the Science and Religion Club for a special presentation at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 30, in Canyon Commons 102. Computer science professor Brian Snider will give a short talk about artificial intelligence technologies, followed by a discussion of how these technologies might be considered in light of Christian understandings of the world.

There will be free junk food, and elective chapel credit is available for students!

Dear George Fox Student Body,

We are very honored to be able to play football here at George Fox. Our players are very special, and your support on game days mean a great deal to them and our staff. We truly thank you for your time and energy. We really appreciated those of you that made the trip out to McMinnville to support us this past week. To come and support us on a windy and rainy day like that shows your commitment and loyalty.

I teach our men to be blue-collar workers. To never complain. Work as hard as you can at everything you do. And to never give up, no matter what. You students have shown the same blue-collar attributes. We could not do this without you.

On behalf of the whole team and staff, we sincerely thank you for supporting us and the environment you foster at our games, home or away.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Coach Chris Casey
